Grove Music says "Those works conceived for the whole cappella are intended to be performed with the four vocal parts taken by one or two singers (the second singer called ‘di rinforzo’)". Accordingly, this is tagged for tenor/bass solos with tenor/bass choir.

Tagged for organ continuo, and if a fuller score surfaces at some point, an orchestral tag can be added.
